Astronauts Will Eat Food Bars on Long Space Missions
Microgravity poses a lot of challenges, among which the development of food that is nutritious, doesn’t look too disgusting and can last for long periods of time is one of NASA’s many priorities if it ever wants for their deep space missions including the one to Mars to become a reality. Although calibrating the nutritional value of food isn’t a difficult task besides other aspects like … [Read more...]
